TitanicViolin Sells For Record £900,000
The violin used by the Titanic bandmaster to play to passengers as the ship went down has sold for a record £900,000.Wallace Hartley's violin has become part of the doomed ship's legend after his band played as the vessel went down.
The violin famously played by the Titanic's bandmaster as the liner sank beneath the waves has sold for a world record price of £900,000 at auction.
Wallace Hartley has become part of the doomed ship's legend after leading his fellow musicians in playing as the vessel went down, most famously the hymn Nearer My God To Thee.
Hartley and his seven fellow band members all died in the tragedy on April 14 1912, when the cruiser hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, killing 1,500 people.
His violin, which had been a gift from his fiancee MariaRobinson, was apparently found in a case strapped to his body when it was recovered from the icy waters.
Its re-emergence in 2006, when it was reportedly discovered in an attic in Yorkshire, prompted heated debate over its authenticity. Titanic specialist auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son say nearly seven years of research and tests have proved it to be the genuine article.
Now the violin - accompanied by a leather luggage case initialed WHH - has been sold alongside a host of items from the ship at an auction in Devizes, Wiltshire.
AndrewAldridge, a valuer with the auctioneer, said worldwide interest in the instrument meant it was likely to break the world record fee for a single piece of memorabilia from the Titanic.
The violin had a reserve price of between £200,000 and £300,000, but sold for triple that amount.
Mr Aldridge said: "It symbolises love, with a young man strapping it to his body because it was an engagement present from his fiancee. It also epitomises bravery. He knew there would be no lifeboats.
"It symbolises everything that's good about people, not just Wallace Hartley and his band, but all the men, women and children who lost their lives." The previous record sale saw a 32ft plan of the Titanic used in the 1912 inquiry into the sinking of the ship fetch £220,000 two years ago.
The violin has been on exhibition at Titanic museums in the US and Northern Ireland.
Mr Aldridge also took the violin to Mr Hartley's hometown of Dewsbury, Yorkshire, this week ahead of its sale.
"I hope it stays in the UK and goes on exhibition," he said. "There have buyers in the UK but also in the US and Asia so it could go anywhere."
Among the other items on sale is a photograph showing victims being buried at sea.
The black and white image of bodies in sacks piled three high on deck is expected to fetch up to £5,000.

# AuctioneerAlex Chalcraft shows the MarconiHall Street label that was meant for Titanic's wireless operators to TonyAppleton.
Mr Appleton, 80, who lives in the city where the world's first wireless factory was opened in 1899, will be bidding for the label when it is auctioned on May 30, 2015 on behalf of @BackTheBid2MT who want to purchase part of the old factory and turn it into Marconi Science WorX.
The RoyalCrier said:"The parcel was posted from Marconi's Hall Street Works so it seems only right that it is returned to sender."
A local campaign to purchase part of the factory, which closed in 1912, was launched by @BackTheBid2MT at the crowd funding website where money can be pledged to turn it in Marconi Science WorX for STEM clubs to encourage youngsters to become scientists and Marconis of the future.
https://spacehive.com/marconiscienceworX
The BBC exclusively revealed details of the auction stating:
The label from a parcel destined for an officer on the Titanic has been put up for auction.
It was addressed to "Marconi Operator, RMS Titanic" and stamped on 11 April 1912 - the day after the ill-fated ship set sail from Southampton.
What the parcel originally contained is unknown, but according to the valuer it missed the ship by a "few hours".
Auctioneer John Nicholson is to start bidding at £500, but "hasn't got a clue" how much it is worth.
He hopes it will be of interest to Titanic enthusiasts.
The lot has been described as an "important piece of maritime history and of Titanic interest".
It also includes photographs of a Marconi telegraph operator, Alec Bagot, and the telegraph equipment aboard Titanic's sister shipRMS Olympic.
'Titanic mania'
ValuerGordon Patrick said it was given to the vendor's mother, who lived in Southampton and died in 1972.
He said: "It was given to her by the first officer of the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, who was a friend of hers.
"We don't know what was in the parcel, but they think it missed the ship by a couple of hours."
He believes a collector will snap up the memorabilia. He said: "It's quite exciting - there's real Titanic mania."
The Titanic sank on the fifth day of its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.
Titanic memorabilia continues to be popular. Last year the last letter to be written on the vessel sold for £119,000 at auction.
Previously a menu from the day of the disaster was sold for £76,000, while a violin played as the ship sank went for £900,000.
The sale will take place on Saturday 30 May at the John Nicholson auction rooms in Fernhurst, West Sussex.

"Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other ContrariansBattle for Control of Losing Corporations" is an exploration of the philosophy of deep value investment. It describes the evolution of the various theories of intrinsic value and activist investment from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffett to Carl Icahn and beyond. Filled with engaging anecdotes, penetrating statistical analysis and meticulous research, the book illustrates the principles and strategies of deep value investing and examines the counterintuitive idea behind its extraordinary performance.
About the Book
It is a simple, but counterintuitive idea: Under the right conditions, losing stocks—those in crisis, with apparently failing businesses, and uncertain futures—offer unusually favorable investment prospects. This is a philosophy that runs counter to the received wisdom of the market. Many investors believe that a good business and a good investment are the same thing. Many value investors, inspired by Warren Buffett’s example, believe that a good, undervalued business is the best investment.
The research offers a contradictory view. Deep Value is an investigation of the evidence, and the conditions under which those losing stocks become asymmetric opportunities, with limited downside, and enormous upside. In pursuit of this idea, it canvases the academic and industry research into theories of intrinsic value, management’s influence on that value, and the impact of attempts to unseat management on both market price and value. The value investment philosophy as first described by Benjamin Graham identified targets by their discount to liquidation value. That approach has proven extremely effective; however, those opportunities have all but disappeared from the modern stock market. To succeed, today’s deep value investors have adapted Graham’s philosophy, embracing its spirit while pushing beyond its confines. In Deep Value, I examine Graham’s 80-year-old intellectual legacy using modern statistical techniques to offer a penetrating and highly original perspective: That losing stocks offer unusually favorable investment prospects. The evidence reveals an axiomatic truth about investing: Investors aren’t rewarded for picking winners; they’re rewarded for uncovering mis-pricing.

Real estate appraisal

Real estate appraisal, property valuation or land valuation is the process of developing an opinion of value for real property (usually market value). Real estate transactions often require appraisals because they occur infrequently and every property is unique (especially their location, a key factor in valuation), unlike corporate stocks, which are traded daily and are identical (thus a centralized Walrasian auction like a stock exchange is unrealistic). Appraisal reports form the basis for mortgage loans, settling estates and divorces, taxation, and so on. Sometimes an appraisal report is used to set the sale price of a property.

Most, but not all, countries require appraisers to be licensed or certified. Appraisers are often known as "property valuers" or "land valuers"; in British English they are "valuation surveyors". If the appraiser's opinion is based on market value, then it must also be based on the highest and best use of the real property. In the United States, mortgage valuations of improved residential properties are generally reported on a standardized form like the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report. Appraisals of more complex properties (e.g., income-producing, raw land) are often reported in narrative format.

In armed conflict and in daily life, ships have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for naval warfare and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the world.

Ships were always a key in history's great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He spread such inventions as the compass and gunpowder. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization and the slave trade, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. After the 16th century, new crops that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to the world population growth.Ship transport has shaped the world's economy into today's energy-intensive pattern.

Family office

The term family office can refer to a single family office (SFO) or a Multi-family office (MFO). The distinction is important since, despite the similar names, each provides a significantly different service. This article refers principally to single family offices.

An SFO is a private company that manages investments and trusts for a single family. The company's financial capital is the family's own wealth, often accumulated over many family generations. Traditional family offices provide personal services such as managing household staff and making travel arrangements. Other services typically handled by the traditional family office include property management, day-to-day accounting and payroll activities, and management of legal affairs. Family offices often provide family management services, which includes family governance, financial and investment education, philanthropy coordination, and succession planning. A family office can cost over $1 million a year to operate, so the family's net worth usually exceeds $100 million. Recently, some family offices have accepted non-family members.

Under the command of Edward Smith, the ship's passengers included some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe seeking a new life in North America. A high-power radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard due to outdated maritime safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people—slightly more than half of the number on board, and one-third her total capacity.

Chartered Family Office Specialist (CFOS) - Soft Side

The family office concept has its roots back in the 6th century. Then a major-domo was a person who would speak, make arrangements or take charge for the affairs of the royal family and its wealth. Later in the 6th century, the upper nobility started to use these services of the major-domo as well. Hence, the concept of administrator ship was invented and has prevailed until today.
The modern concept and understanding of family offices was developed in the 19th century. In 1838, the family of J.P. Morgan founded the House of Morgan, which managed the families' assets and in 1882, the Rockefellers founded their family office, which prevailed until today.
Many single family offices instead of covering the entire operative costs decided to offer its services to other families as well. This concept is called multi-family office or multi-client family office.
Now, more than any other time in recent history, people of significant wealth are searching for more than only investment advice. They want a trusted adviser who will consider their families' values and integrate those values into recommendations for their families that achieved wealth accumulations and preservation goals, while managing investment risk and maintaining professional integrity. They also want to appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest.
In India we have seen the establishment of independent multi-family offices in addition to the traditional family office structures
Soft side of the Family Office is now as much a core ingredient as the Investment Strategies that are built for the family. The family office personnel need to be convesrsant with the softer issues like Need for family office, Best Practices, FamilyDynamics and Trends
Providing Value as Family Office Advisor etc.
CFOS program offered by Infinite Myriaads in India devotes a full session on Soft side with video session conducted by Joel Dicicco, Co-founder at Family Office InstituteFlorida,USA

Your lips are like two night crawlers making love in a pink bog, and your bush, your glorious gravy boat feels like crushed valuer, your breasts are like two mounds of Hagen-Daas French Vanilla ice cream. How I long to plunge head long into your flaming pit of desire driving, pounding, thrusting, sweating, stinking, humping, forcing myself on you like a Spanish stallion in the throws of a sexual feeding frenzy. Oh, my love kitten I long to thrust your face with my manhood wedging, fudging, we are as one come to me, with me as we savor our kisses in the sunset.

Chartered Family Office Specialist (CFOS) - Soft Side

The family office concept has its roots back in the 6th century. Then a major-domo was a person who would speak, make arrangements or take charge for the affairs of the royal family and its wealth. Later in the 6th century, the upper nobility started to use these services of the major-domo as well. Hence, the concept of administrator ship was invented and has prevailed until today.
The modern concept and understanding of family offices was developed in the 19th century. In 1838, the family of J.P. Morgan founded the House of Morgan, which managed the families' assets and in 1882, the Rockefellers founded their family office, which prevailed until today.
Many single family offices instead of covering the entire operative costs decided to offer its services to other families as well. This ...

TitanicViolin Sells For Record £900,000
The violin used by the Titanic bandmaster to play to passengers as the ship went down has sold for a record £900,000.Wallace Hartley's violin has become part of the doomed ship's legend after his band played as the vessel went down.
The violin famously played by the Titanic's bandmaster as the liner sank beneath the waves has sold for a world record price of £900,000 at auction.
Wallace Hartley has become part of the doomed ship's legend after leading his fellow musicians in playing as the vessel went down, most famously the hymn Nearer My God To Thee.
Hartley and his seven fellow band members all died in the tragedy on April 14 1912, when the cruiser hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, killing 1,500 people.
His violin, which had been a gift from his fiancee MariaRobinson, was apparently found in a case strapped to his body when it was recovered from the icy waters.
Its re-emergence in 2006, when it was reportedly discovered in an attic in Yorkshire, prompted heated debate over its authenticity. Titanic specialist auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son say nearly seven years of research and tests have proved it to be the genuine article.
Now the violin - accompanied by a leather luggage case initialed WHH - has been sold alongside a host of items from the ship at an auction in Devizes, Wiltshire.
AndrewAldridge, a valuer with the auctioneer, said worldwide interest in the instrument meant it was likely to break the world record fee for a single piece of memorabilia from the Titanic.
The violin had a reserve price of between £200,000 and £300,000, but sold for triple that amount.
Mr Aldridge said: "It symbolises love, with a young man strapping it to his body because it was an engagement present from his fiancee. It also epitomises bravery. He knew there would be no lifeboats.
"It symbolises everything that's good about people, not just Wallace Hartley and his band, but all the men, women and children who lost their lives." The previous record sale saw a 32ft plan of the Titanic used in the 1912 inquiry into the sinking of the ship fetch £220,000 two years ago.
The violin has been on exhibition at Titanic museums in the US and Northern Ireland.
Mr Aldridge also took the violin to Mr Hartley's hometown of Dewsbury, Yorkshire, this week ahead of its sale.
"I hope it stays in the UK and goes on exhibition," he said. "There have buyers in the UK but also in the US and Asia so it could go anywhere."
Among the other items on sale is a photograph showing victims being buried at sea.
The black and white image of bodies in sacks piled three high on deck is expected to fetch up to £5,000.

Royalist Town Crier bid to return Titanic label to Marconi Hall Street Works

# AuctioneerAlex Chalcraft shows the MarconiHall Street label that was meant for Titanic's wireless operators to TonyAppleton.
Mr Appleton, 80, who lives in the city where the world's first wireless factory was opened in 1899, will be bidding for the label when it is auctioned on May 30, 2015 on behalf of @BackTheBid2MT who want to purchase part of the old factory and turn it into Marconi Science WorX.
The RoyalCrier said:"The parcel was posted from Marconi's Hall Street Works so it seems only right that it is returned to sender."
A local campaign to purchase part of the factory, which closed in 1912, was launched by @BackTheBid2MT at the crowd funding website where money can be pledged to turn it in Marconi Science WorX for STEM clubs to encourage youngsters to become scientists and Marconis of the future.
https://spacehive.com/marconiscienceworX
The BBC exclusively revealed details of the auction stating:
The label from a parcel destined for an officer on the Titanic has been put up for auction.
It was addressed to "Marconi Operator, RMS Titanic" and stamped on 11 April 1912 - the day after the ill-fated ship set sail from Southampton.
What the parcel originally contained is unknown, but according to the valuer it missed the ship by a "few hours".
Auctioneer John Nicholson is to start bidding at £500, but "hasn't got a clue" how much it is worth.
He hopes it will be of interest to Titanic enthusiasts.
The lot has been described as an "important piece of maritime history and of Titanic interest".
It also includes photographs of a Marconi telegraph operator, Alec Bagot, and the telegraph equipment aboard Titanic's sister shipRMS Olympic.
'Titanic mania'
ValuerGordon Patrick said it was given to the vendor's mother, who lived in Southampton and died in 1972.
He said: "It was given to her by the first officer of the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, who was a friend of hers.
"We don't know what was in the parcel, but they think it missed the ship by a couple of hours."
He believes a collector will snap up the memorabilia. He said: "It's quite exciting - there's real Titanic mania."
The Titanic sank on the fifth day of its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.
Titanic memorabilia continues to be popular. Last year the last letter to be written on the vessel sold for £119,000 at auction.
Previously a menu from the day of the disaster was sold for £76,000, while a violin played as the ship sank went for £900,000.
The sale will take place on Saturday 30 May at the John Nicholson auction rooms in Fernhurst, West Sussex.

Oh my pet, my pet, your eyes are like two limpid pools of 10W40. Your skin is like rich Corinthian leather. Your lips are like two night crawlers making love in a pink bog, and your bush, your glorious gravy boat feels like crushed valuer, your breasts are like two mounds of Hagen-Daas French Vanilla ice cream. How I long to plunge head long into your flaming pit of desire driving, pounding, thrusting, sweating, stinking, humping, forcing myself on you like a Spanish stallion in the throws of a sexual feeding frenzy. Oh, my love kitten I long to thrust your face with my manhood wedging, fudging, we are as one come to me, with me as we savor our kisses in the sunset.

"Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other ContrariansBattle for Control of Losing Corporations" is an exploration of the philosophy of deep value investment. It describes the evolution of the various theories of intrinsic value and activist investment from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffett to Carl Icahn and beyond. Filled with engaging anecdotes, penetrating statistical analysis and meticulous research, the book illustrates the principles and strategies of deep value investing and examines the counterintuitive idea behind its extraordinary performance.
About the Book
It is a simple, but counterintuitive idea: Under the right conditions, losing stocks—those in crisis, with apparently failing businesses, and uncertain futures—offer unusually favorable investment prospects. This is a philosophy that runs counter to the received wisdom of the market. Many investors believe that a good business and a good investment are the same thing. Many value investors, inspired by Warren Buffett’s example, believe that a good, undervalued business is the best investment.
The research offers a contradictory view. Deep Value is an investigation of the evidence, and the conditions under which those losing stocks become asymmetric opportunities, with limited downside, and enormous upside. In pursuit of this idea, it canvases the academic and industry research into theories of intrinsic value, management’s influence on that value, and the impact of attempts to unseat management on both market price and value. The value investment philosophy as first described by Benjamin Graham identified targets by their discount to liquidation value. That approach has proven extremely effective; however, those opportunities have all but disappeared from the modern stock market. To succeed, today’s deep value investors have adapted Graham’s philosophy, embracing its spirit while pushing beyond its confines. In Deep Value, I examine Graham’s 80-year-old intellectual legacy using modern statistical techniques to offer a penetrating and highly original perspective: That losing stocks offer unusually favorable investment prospects. The evidence reveals an axiomatic truth about investing: Investors aren’t rewarded for picking winners; they’re rewarded for uncovering mis-pricing.

The family office concept has its roots back in the 6th century. Then a major-domo was a person who would speak, make arrangements or take charge for the affairs of the royal family and its wealth. Later in the 6th century, the upper nobility started to use these services of the major-domo as well. Hence, the concept of administrator ship was invented and has prevailed until today.
The modern concept and understanding of family offices was developed in the 19th century. In 1838, the family of J.P. Morgan founded the House of Morgan, which managed the families' assets and in 1882, the Rockefellers founded their family office, which prevailed until today.
Many single family offices instead of covering the entire operative costs decided to offer its services to other families as well. This concept is called multi-family office or multi-client family office.
Now, more than any other time in recent history, people of significant wealth are searching for more than only investment advice. They want a trusted adviser who will consider their families' values and integrate those values into recommendations for their families that achieved wealth accumulations and preservation goals, while managing investment risk and maintaining professional integrity. They also want to appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest.
In India we have seen the establishment of independent multi-family offices in addition to the traditional family office structures
Soft side of the Family Office is now as much a core ingredient as the Investment Strategies that are built for the family. The family office personnel need to be convesrsant with the softer issues like Need for family office, Best Practices, FamilyDynamics and Trends
Providing Value as Family Office Advisor etc.
CFOS program offered by Infinite Myriaads in India devotes a full session on Soft side with video session conducted by Joel Dicicco, Co-founder at Family Office InstituteFlorida,USA

"Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other ContrariansBattle for Control of Losing Corporations" is an exploration of the philosophy of deep value investment. It describes the evolution of the various theories of intrinsic value and activist investment from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffett to Carl Icahn and beyond. Filled with engaging anecdotes, penetrating statistical analysis and meticulous research, the book illustrates the principles and strategies of deep value investing and examines the counterintuitive idea behind its extraordinary performance.
About the Book
It is a simple, but counterintuitive idea: Under the right conditions, losing stocks—those in crisis, with apparently failing businesses, and uncertain futures—offer unusually favorable investment prospects. This is a philosophy that runs counter to the received wisdom of the market. Many investors believe that a good business and a good investment are the same thing. Many value investors, inspired by Warren Buffett’s example, believe that a good, undervalued business is the best investment.
The research offers a contradictory view. Deep Value is an investigation of the evidence, and the conditions under which those losing stocks become asymmetric opportunities, with limited downside, and enormous upside. In pursuit of this idea, it canvases the academic and industry research into theories of intrinsic value, management’s influence on that value, and the impact of attempts to unseat management on both market price and value. The value investment philosophy as first described by Benjamin Graham identified targets by their discount to liquidation value. That approach has proven extremely effective; however, those opportunities have all but disappeared from the modern stock market. To succeed, today’s deep value investors have adapted Graham’s philosophy, embracing its spirit while pushing beyond its confines. In Deep Value, I examine Graham’s 80-year-old intellectual legacy using modern statistical techniques to offer a penetrating and highly original perspective: That losing stocks offer unusually favorable investment prospects. The evidence reveals an axiomatic truth about investing: Investors aren’t rewarded for picking winners; they’re rewarded for uncovering mis-pricing.

Titanic Violin Sells For Record £900,000

TitanicViolin Sells For Record £900,000
The violin used by the Titanic bandmaster to play to passengers as the ship went down has sold for a record £900,000.Wallace Hartley's violin has become part of the doomed ship's legend after his band played as the vessel went down.
The violin famously played by the Titanic's bandmaster as the liner sank beneath the waves has sold for a world record price of £900,000 at auction.
Wallace Hartley has become part of the doomed ship's legend after leading his fellow musicians in playing as the vessel went down, most famously the hymn Nearer My God To Thee.
Hartley and his seven fellow band members all died in the tragedy on April 14 1912, when the cruiser hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, killing 1,500 people.
His violin, which had been a gift from his fiancee MariaRobinson, was apparently found in a case strapped to his body when it was recovered from the icy waters.
Its re-emergence in 2006, when it was reportedly discovered in an attic in Yorkshire, prompted heated debate over its authenticity. Titanic specialist auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son say nearly seven years of research and tests have proved it to be the genuine article.
Now the violin - accompanied by a leather luggage case initialed WHH - has been sold alongside a host of items from the ship at an auction in Devizes, Wiltshire.
AndrewAldridge, a valuer with the auctioneer, said worldwide interest in the instrument meant it was likely to break the world record fee for a single piece of memorabilia from the Titanic.
The violin had a reserve price of between £200,000 and £300,000, but sold for triple that amount.
Mr Aldridge said: "It symbolises love, with a young man strapping it to his body because it was an engagement present from his fiancee. It also epitomises bravery. He knew there would be no lifeboats.
"It symbolises everything that's good about people, not just Wallace Hartley and his band, but all the men, women and children who lost their lives." The previous record sale saw a 32ft plan of the Titanic used in the 1912 inquiry into the sinking of the ship fetch £220,000 two years ago.
The violin has been on exhibition at Titanic museums in the US and Northern Ireland.
Mr Aldridge also took the violin to Mr Hartley's hometown of Dewsbury, Yorkshire, this week ahead of its sale.
"I hope it stays in the UK and goes on exhibition," he said. "There have buyers in the UK but also in the US and Asia so it could go anywhere."
Among the other items on sale is a photograph showing victims being buried at sea.
The black and white image of bodies in sacks piled three high on deck is expected to fetch up to £5,000.

Royalist Town Crier bid to return Titanic label to Marconi Hall Street Works

Royalist Town Crier bid to return Titanic label to Marconi Hall Street Works

# AuctioneerAlex Chalcraft shows the MarconiHall Street label that was meant for Titanic's wireless operators to TonyAppleton.
Mr Appleton, 80, who lives in the city where the world's first wireless factory was opened in 1899, will be bidding for the label when it is auctioned on May 30, 2015 on behalf of @BackTheBid2MT who want to purchase part of the old factory and turn it into Marconi Science WorX.
The RoyalCrier said:"The parcel was posted from Marconi's Hall Street Works so it seems only right that it is returned to sender."
A local campaign to purchase part of the factory, which closed in 1912, was launched by @BackTheBid2MT at the crowd funding website where money can be pledged to turn it in Marconi Science WorX for STEM clubs to encourage youngsters to become scientists and Marconis of the future.
https://spacehive.com/marconiscienceworX
The BBC exclusively revealed details of the auction stating:
The label from a parcel destined for an officer on the Titanic has been put up for auction.
It was addressed to "Marconi Operator, RMS Titanic" and stamped on 11 April 1912 - the day after the ill-fated ship set sail from Southampton.
What the parcel originally contained is unknown, but according to the valuer it missed the ship by a "few hours".
Auctioneer John Nicholson is to start bidding at £500, but "hasn't got a clue" how much it is worth.
He hopes it will be of interest to Titanic enthusiasts.
The lot has been described as an "important piece of maritime history and of Titanic interest".
It also includes photographs of a Marconi telegraph operator, Alec Bagot, and the telegraph equipment aboard Titanic's sister shipRMS Olympic.
'Titanic mania'
ValuerGordon Patrick said it was given to the vendor's mother, who lived in Southampton and died in 1972.
He said: "It was given to her by the first officer of the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, who was a friend of hers.
"We don't know what was in the parcel, but they think it missed the ship by a couple of hours."
He believes a collector will snap up the memorabilia. He said: "It's quite exciting - there's real Titanic mania."
The Titanic sank on the fifth day of its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.
Titanic memorabilia continues to be popular. Last year the last letter to be written on the vessel sold for £119,000 at auction.
Previously a menu from the day of the disaster was sold for £76,000, while a violin played as the ship sank went for £900,000.
The sale will take place on Saturday 30 May at the John Nicholson auction rooms in Fernhurst, West Sussex.

Meatmen - Kisses in the Sunset

Oh my pet, my pet, your eyes are like two limpid pools of 10W40. Your skin is like rich Corinthian leather. Your lips are like two night crawlers making love in a pink bog, and your bush, your glorious gravy boat feels like crushed valuer, your breasts are like two mounds of Hagen-Daas French Vanilla ice cream. How I long to plunge head long into your flaming pit of desire driving, pounding, thrusting, sweating, stinking, humping, forcing myself on you like a Spanish stallion in the throws of a sexual feeding frenzy. Oh, my love kitten I long to thrust your face with my manhood wedging, fudging, we are as one come to me, with me as we savor our kisses in the sunset.

Chartered Family Office Specialist (CFOS) - Soft Side

The family office concept has its roots back in the 6th century. Then a major-domo was a person who would speak, make arrangements or take charge for the affairs of the royal family and its wealth. Later in the 6th century, the upper nobility started to use these services of the major-domo as well. Hence, the concept of administrator ship was invented and has prevailed until today.
The modern concept and understanding of family offices was developed in the 19th century. In 1838, the family of J.P. Morgan founded the House of Morgan, which managed the families' assets and in 1882, the Rockefellers founded their family office, which prevailed until today.
Many single family offices instead of covering the entire operative costs decided to offer its services to other families as well. This concept is called multi-family office or multi-client family office.
Now, more than any other time in recent history, people of significant wealth are searching for more than only investment advice. They want a trusted adviser who will consider their families' values and integrate those values into recommendations for their families that achieved wealth accumulations and preservation goals, while managing investment risk and maintaining professional integrity. They also want to appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest.
In India we have seen the establishment of independent multi-family offices in addition to the traditional family office structures
Soft side of the Family Office is now as much a core ingredient as the Investment Strategies that are built for the family. The family office personnel need to be convesrsant with the softer issues like Need for family office, Best Practices, FamilyDynamics and Trends
Providing Value as Family Office Advisor etc.
CFOS program offered by Infinite Myriaads in India devotes a full session on Soft side with video session conducted by Joel Dicicco, Co-founder at Family Office InstituteFlorida,USA
Registrations open for the 1st batch starting in October, Interested to pursue the course then call Vikas Singh at 9004962907 or email him at vikassingh@infinitemyriaads.com
